Seems I didnt quote enough context for you,
(& as my original reply bounced, of course by now no one can be expected
to remember it).

Yes: people can sell what they write or modify or copy.

No: they can't bundle it into the FreeBSD src/ tree with unusually 
restrictive copyright requiring royalty payments _Unless_ FreeBSD agrees 
(I'm not sure what Gary C. intended WRT this )

That's why I asked:

Agreed, v. generous,
but IMO no payment is worth sacrificing the src/ tree to royalties.

Let's await Gary Clark's clarification of what he wants to do,

Gary, care to clarify your proposal ?  Thanks.
